Clothes hanger



Nov. 24, 1936. A. ISRAELSON CLOTHES HANGER Filed Sept. 8, 1933 flflaeri'llsraelson Patented Nov. 24, 1936 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFIE 7 Claims.

This invention relatesto clothes hangers and has particular relation to those hangers wherein a whole suit may be hung up.

The usual clothes hanger wherein the vest and coat have to be placed one over the other on the hanger has many inconveniences. The vest is usually taken off after removal of the coat, both from the body of the wearer and from the hanger. For similar reasons, the vest is first put on by thewearer and is usually put on the hanger prior to the coat. In the case of the suits having two trousers, one pair is usually placed over the other. In this way there is much inconvenience to the user due to the inaccessibility of the parts of the suit as needed.

The primary object of this invention is the provision of an improved clothes hanger by the use of which all parts of the suit are ready for use without disturbing any other part.

Another object of the invention is the provision of an improved clothes hanger having a separate supporting means for holding each article of a suit.

Still another object of this invention is the provision of an improved clothes hanger having a special means for holding parts of the suit in different planes to facilitate placing and removal of the clothes from the hanger.

Another object of the invention is the provision of a clothes hanger having provision for holding coat, vest and two pairs of trousers, wherein the coat will be held open while the vest and one pair of trousers are being hung and will close around the trousers and vest when the latter are released to lie against'the inside of the coat;

A still further object of this invention is the provision of an improved clothes hanger having means for supporting articles of clothing at different heights and provision for moving these means topositions so that they will be in different vertical planes to hold the clothing articles separate to provide for a maximum accessiblity.

Other and further objects will be apparent to those skilled in the art from a reading of the complete specification and claims.

Referring to the drawing wherein I have illustrated an embodiment of my invention.

Figure l is a front view with the supporting parts all hanging in substantially the same plane.

Figure 2 is a side View of Figure 1.

Figure 3 is a front view similar to Figure l, but with the article holders held in a different relation so as to place them in different vertical planes.

Figure 4 is a side view of Figure 3.

Figure 5 is a fragmentary showing or a momfied form of my invention.

Figure 6 is an elevational view of a modified construction for the trousers hangers.

The same reference characters refer to the same or similar parts throughout the specification and drawing.

In constructing my improved clothes hanger, I provide a coat-supporting portion H] which may be of heavy rod or wire or any suitable material. At the top I provide a supporting means such as a swivel hook II which may turn in any direction and facilitates hanging up the hanger as on the hook l2.

The lower cross member ll] is provided with a notch or loop Ill at each side of the center and adjacent the outer ends. In these loops are eyes 13 of the secondary frame member l3. This frame member I3 has a cross member 13' to secure the two sides of the frame l3 together and to support the vest hanger as will be later described.

One side of the frame I3, as shown at the right in Figure 1, is continuous beyond the cross member la and turns to form a trousers hanger l3. The other side member of the frame I3 is integral with the cross member l3 the end of the latter as shown at l3 being secured to the side of the frame l3.

In order to support the free end of the trousers hanger |3, I provide a hook member i 3 which at its upper end is secured to the frame I 3 by an end coil l3 l The hook l3 may be readily detached from the trousers hanger 13 when it is desired to place trousers thereon or remove them.

Suitably secured to the cross member Ill by the coil l is a second trousers hanger M which is supported at its free end by the hook l5. The hook I5 is provided with a coil 15* which is secured to the cross member W The hook is easily separated from the trousers hanger it when it is desired to remove or replace trousers on the hanger I 4.

Suspended from the cross member It by the eyes it is a hanger It provided particularly for a vest when the hanger is used for a suit.

Surrounding the swivel hook bearing If] is an eye ll of a supporting brace member ll having at its outer extremity a loop ll This loop ll" surrounds and is so constructed as to slide on, a rod l'l which is connected at its ends to the cross members Ill and HP. The rod I! has a bend l'l which is engaged by the loop ll when the parts are in the positions shown in Figure 4.

In using my improved hanger, the second pair of trousers not normally in use is kept on the second hanger M as indicated at l8. In inserting the trousers, the hook I5 is disengaged which permits the hanger i l to be inserted at the fold of the trousers leg. After this is accomplished, the hook !5 is again secured to the free end of the hanger M.

In the normal use of the hanger the second pair of trousers will be kept in place on its hanger. The first operation is to bring the parts to the positions shown in Figure 4. To do this, the hanger l3 is lifted with one hand While the other hand is utilized to cause the loop II to engage that portion of the rod ll which is beyond the bend l'l lhe coat is now removed from the wearer and put over the coat frame ID as indicated at l9. The vest which is next removed, is placed on the vest hanger l5 as indicated in Figure 4 at 26]. The trousers may now be hung on the trousers hanger [3 as shown at 2| in Figure 4. It will be noted that by suitably supporting as many of the hangers as desired, two as illustrated, on the frame I3, they may be brought each into a separate plane as illustrated particularly in Figure 4. When all of the articles of clothing are placed on their particular supports, the loop I'l is released from the bent portion at I1 and the vest hanger l6 and trousers hanger l3, permitted to swing back against the trousers l8. This places the whole suit in substantially the same plane. It will be noted that the side members of the frame 13 will hold the coat open as long as the loop ll is in operation.

To remove the articles, the reverse operation is followed, the loop ll being moved out to engage the bent portion of the rod l! to hold the parts as shown in Figure 4 while the clothing is removed from the hanger. In this position the sides of the frame member l3 hold the coat open.

In Figure 5, I have illustrated a modified form of my invention having a double loop coat hanger l in which is secured to a plate Hi] to which the hook II is secured. Between the outer ends of the loops is secured a cross member [Ill which corresponds to the cross member l0 already described and to which the frame members l3 and the trousers hanger M are attached as already described.

The other parts of Figure 5 are constructed in a similar manner to the same parts as illustrated in Figures 1 to 4, inclusive.

In Figure 6 I have illustrated a modified form of the trousers hanger. The parts H3, H3 2 l3 corresponding to the similar parts 13, l3 I3 already described. The ends of the parts 2 l3, 2l3 are extended and twisted to form the integral part 2l3 which is designed to support the trousers. The parts 2l3 2|3 2l4, 2l5, 2W 2H", 2 ll correspond to the similar parts already described.

While I have shown and illustrated in detail a hanger for a two trousers suit, I desire to have it understood that the illustration and description are merely illustrative and that various modifications and changes may be made without departing from the spirit of the invention and within the scope of the appended claims.
